Brand new thread for Slimming World support

julesangles

we have a newish consultant, i'm not keen on the style of the group now. she has never reached target, but is still a member of SW.she is allways asking advice from the people who have been at group for a while. saying xx how do you deal with that? trouble is I want to know how she would deal with it, thats i pay for. I do find she asks myself and another lady (whos lost a lot of weight) what we are doing, then asking for our meal plans so she can do them, as we are doing so well. I DONT WANT TO BE A CONSULTANT! thats why i sit here, you stand there! Im trying a new group next week. see if its any different.

Excellent loss Wootball well done :T:T and to all the other losers too :T:T

Welcome to the new members too as always, lovely to see new names. :wave::wave::wave:

For those not joining a class, I don't go either (because there isn't one) and I find this forum and my new friends even more invaluable. There is no way I would have stuck to it this long without them all.

Today was my WI and ... drum roll please.... I am 0.5lb down!! :j:j:j It may only be a little half lb but I would have been really happy with a sts as it is * wk and I really overdid it for 3 days with our friends visiting. I am soooo excited about the prospect of potentially being in the 12st's next week. I am now 13.01.5. I've not seen the 12's for years!!

Today (EE)
B - 2 toast (B) tin tomatoes (F) mushrooms (F) SF fried egg (F)
L - H/m veggie chow mein (0.5)
D - H/m mini meatballs (F) pasta & tom sauce (F) and half a plate of salad (F)
Snx - Skinny cow ice cream lolly thing (4.5) Raspberry yoghurt, banana, & granola pud (5).

Has anyone tried the SW Ferrero Rochers??? I've not tried scan bran so I'm scared of it as it seems to be a love it or hate it item... will it ruin perfectly good nutella???

Ferrero Rocher alternative: Crumble 8 Scan Bran into a bowl and mix in 1 tbsp water, 4 level tbsp Nutella and 1 level tbsp syrup. Divide into little bun cases and leave in the fridge to set. Makes 20 delicious treats for just 1 Syn each!

Good morning. I feel positive and full of good intentions :A but I am always like that in the beginning, it is endurance I need for long term success, but I think that with EE it could be done, not too much weighing etc.

I did buy some recipe books last night just in case I wasn't going back to class: 100 saucy secrets and curry heaven.

Which other ones would you all recommend? Mrs Mac, you did buy quite a few didn't you?

Poor consultant was a bit harassed last night, it was her first night back after her holiday and the PDA thingy broke, resulting her having to make phone calls and rushing through our beginners talk. We were there for 2 hours.

Do you all write your "logs" every day, write down everything you eat? Do you get new logs at class every week or do you use a notebook?

Personally I write everything down as I have a tendency to forget, then wonder why I've not lost anything. I have a reporter type notebook and I use it to plan a few days in advance too - this does mean there is a lot of scribble as I change my mind:D

Im so proud of myself , a friend bought me a bottle of wine when she popped round , and its a red one that i love , BUT i did say i was not going to drink for a couple of weeks ,
her son is 18 in two weeks , so a glass of champers will be that more appreciated on his birthday and make it a bit special .
said bottle of wine hasnt been opened at all !!!
i find i get the nibbles when i drink so thats the reason !!
100% still on plan !!

yeah scrub it shall I just go chippy
( and have a fish with the batter picked off :A)

I guess I could always spare 5 syns for a chicken in oyster sauce and boiled rice from the chinese but I am skint at the moment and I dont think spending money wildly is going to help. Booooooo at being broke

Can you make pasta and sauce with boiling water?

(clutches at straws)

NIght susan

pasta is easy enough to make with just boiling water. Just cover the pasta with water, put a tight lid on, and leave it until it's cooked. About 5 - 7 mins I think for dried pasta. Dried noodles are much faster to do this way. You can do rice this way if you are patient too, it takes about 20 mins (use exactly 1.5 times as much boiling water as rice). As for a sauce, once the pasta is really hot you can stir in some beaten egg to coat it, lots of black pepper, syn some parmesan or other cheese, (syn a bit of olive oil if you want). You could chop some cooked or tinned ham in, or some olives (syns), capers, do some tomato slices and mushroom slices on your Forman grill ..... just eat it fast before it goes cold! My mouth's watering.

I had no idea you could do rice this way blacberry rum!

I have cobbled together this meal plan for the day

Pineapple, rasperries and half a muller for brek
HEA skim milk for tea and coffee
Lunch - small slice of leftover pizza ( possibly) will syn this at 1.5 as its about that proportion of the pizza with chicken Ainsley couscous and loads of veg salad, grilled courgettes off the foreman
Dinner- Chicken breast in cajun seasoning on the G foreman, sweet pot wedges baked potato and salad.
Snacks HEB Alpen lites, fruit & yog and possibly snack a jacks

MONEYSAVING:

You know these boxes of snack a jacks with 10 bags in for £1. Are these still on sale in Asda,has anyone seen them?
You get points on each with the gok promotion. 9 points gets you a free trial at lovefilm and £20 love to shop voucher

Just had to shout about this one as if you can get hold of the boxes that is a real DEAL!

Good morning everyone

mumoftwo I used to write everything down, it helped me to stop cheating myself but it also disciplined me to make sure I had my HEs. I just plan to use a notepad this time.

Plans for today

B- Bacon, scrambled eggs, grilled toms
L - chicken and sweetcorn soup (stock, tinned sweetcorn, chicken with instant mash to thicken) with wholemeal bread HE
D- new potatoes, veg and some sort of meat

Drinks - tea with milk HE
Snacks - fruit

No real plans for my syns yet.

I log it all online, using the website. Quick and easy, every Syn from the book is already on there and plenty more aswell.
